One of the first shows I was ever a huge fan of was Star Trek TNG. There was a guest star in one episode, a young woman played by Liz Vassey who had been hurt in a Holodeck accident. Then I was a fan of Wings. Liz showed up there, too. And in Quantum Leap, Early Edition, CSI, Castle. Even shows that critics foolishly ignored like Maximum Bob, The Tick, or Push Nevada (Push would totally have been a huge hit in the Internet age, BTW). She’s like the Stan Lee cameo of shows I thought were great. She’s Nikki in Nikki & Nora! She’s Fury Leika in Dr Horrible!

SHE’S GILLIAN HUNT IN RILEY PARRA.

This woman I’ve been a fan of almost as long as I’ve been a fan of television is going to bring to life one of my characters, and I’m just completely over the moon freaking out about it. I knew when we got Marem we ran the risk of Gillian not being quite amazing enough to match her, but I can let go of that fear.

I always wondered what it would be like to see one of my couples brought to life. So far the Riley Parra casting exceeds even my wildest imaginings. And this brings me closer to becoming Joss Whedon, who also had a webseries featuring Liz. But I made her a main character AND gave her lines. Suck it, Joss! 😉

The crowdfunding has begun! We’re at 60% and there’s 25 days left, so plenty of time to get your pledge in to help bring this show to life. The campaign page has a concept trailer which shows ACTUAL FOOTAGE of my characters! (Side note: the other woman in the video is NOT Gillian. It looks like it could be her, but it’s not). They’ve also announced three cast members: Marem Hassler as Riley Parra (which we’ve known for a long while), Karl E Lander as Marchosias, and Maeve Quinlan as Nina Hathaway. Hopefully we can announce a lot more cast members very soon! ::fingers crossed::
